The founder of Sikhism. He most likely to used to be a Muslim but he later deviated and founded a new religion. He also said that there is no difference in a Muslim and a Hindu. The person who realizes there is no difference is a Sikh, according to Guru Nanak. A true human so to say.

Yes, Guru Nanak was born in Sialkot, Pakistan, if I am not mistaken. Or I think he settled there.
 
Asalaamu 'alaikum,

We've covered this topic in the forthcoming article.
As Sikhism does not have an authentication process for historiography similar to Islaam’s Sciences of Hadeeth, it is difficult to say how far the accounts of Nanak’s life are true and how much is folkloric embellishment. Hence, these stories are and should be examined at face value.
The fact is that if he did enter Makkah and partake in the Hajj ceremonies, he wasn't the first non-Muslim and he certainly wasn't the last.

The story itself has been mentioned in the Vaars of Bhai Gurdaas:

baabaa fir maakae gayaa neel basathr dhhaarae banavaaree||
aasaa haathh kithaab kaashh koojaa baa(n)g musaalaa dhhaaree||
bait(h)aa jaae maseeth vich jithhae haajee haaj gujaaree||
jaa(n) baabaa suthaa raath noo(n) vaal mehiraabae paa(n)e pasaaree||
jeevan maaree lath dhee kaerrhaa suthaa kur kuaaree||
lathaa(n) val khhudhaae dhae kiou(n)akar paeiaa hoe bajagaaree||
tta(n)go(n) pakarr ghaseettiaa firiaa maakaa kalaa dhikhaaree||
hoe hairaan karaen juhaaree ||aa||

Donning blue attire then Baba Nanak went to Mecca.
He held staff in his hand, pressed a book under his armpit, caught hold of a metal pot and mattress.
Now he sat in a mosque where the pilgrims (hajis) had gathered.
When Baba (Nanak) slept in the night spreading his legs towards the alcove of mosque at Kaba, the qazi named Jivan kicked him and asked who was this infidel enacting blasphemy.
Why this sinner is sleeping his legs spread towards God, Khuda.
Catching hold of the legs he lynched (Baba Nanak) and lo and behold the miracle, the whole of Mecca seemed to be revolving.
All got surprised and they all bowed.​

Wa salaam

I appreciate your sincerity. But he cannot go around calling people's polls "pointless." can he? Especially when its such an amazing dawah project. I love this project because I can relate to it. My ancestors were Sikh and some of them were guided to Islam by Allah (swt), way back in time. Thats why I would not like irrational insults hurled at the project.

To realize the importance of this initiative, watch this video how a Sikh man is spreading lies about Allah (swt) and calling us Muhammadi.

LOL. So he was a Prophet. And Mirza Ghulam was a prophet of Allah too? And Yusuf Kazzab was a Prophet of Allah too? All these guys came after Guru Nanak, why should I believe in guru Nanak then.

LOL.

I take all my statements back. I was bored and wanted to chat and started it all LOL Guru Nanak (PBUH) was neither Muslim nor Hindu. He was born in Hindu family but did not accept Hinduism neither did he accept Islam. He praised both Allah and Ram equally in Guru Granth Sahib. You will know it all if you read it and you can find many sites online offering translation of full Granth.

Thanks,
This is by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in response to him being Muslim or Hindu:

I do not make pilgrimages to Mecca, nor do I worship at Hindu sacred shrines. I serve the One Lord, and not any other. I do not keep fasts, nor do I observe the month of Ramadaan. I serve only the One, who will protect me in the end.(Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, page 1136)
 
You're welcome...

I don't know whether he was Muslim or not only Allah knows really...I'm not going to bring my brain to down to explosionville thinking about it. I have more productive things to think about :skeleton:
 
Its funny how people try to relate everyone to islam in their own funny ways. I read how kalki avatar of vishnu was claimed to be Muhammad. Same for lord krishna. And now claim for gurunanak ji being muslim.

Its kalki, not kali. Kali is godess.
Being a hindu you are supposed to worship everyone, and everything in world. Its not that you pick your favourites.
Besides if you dont know, hinduism is monotheistic religion basically, and so many gods in hinduism are just different forms of divine power.

I was talking about Kali goddess. Well, you have to choose a certain god. You can choose to worship everything but that is the philosophy spread by Vivikenanda whose teacher was Ramakrishna.

most Hindus have their preferred god. I know you have one major God Ishvar who created Maya and then within the womb of Maya was created Brahman and then Brahman created everything within himself.

No, Hinduism is not monotheistic religion. its panentheistic. Rabridranath Tagore of Brahmo Samaj argued that Hinduism is monotheistic and he rejected idol worship and he rejected Upanishads. As a child, he used to worship to Shiv linga.

Well, there are many temples in india and it cud be of shiva,ganesha,kali,krishna,rama. If we happen to visit the temples its irrelevant which god is it inside, basic thought is that you are there to connect to the divine power, and have some peace of mind. I can visit any temple. And in reality i hardly visit any temple. And i dont have any preferred god as such.

EKAM SAD VIPRA BAHUDA VADANTI -- GOD(TRUTH) is one but sages call IT using various NAMES. (it is still an aspect of Truth)

Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh(Shiv) are different aspects/functions/forms/Names of the same Brahman (SaT-Chit-Ananda). The same Brahman manifested into different powers.

Hinduism believes that there are infinite ways to reach the same GOD. Some follow Bhakti Marg, some Jnana Marg and others follow different vedantic schools. It is like going from point A to point B. You can walk and still you will get there or you can take a car and will get there as well but faster!
 
Mad scientist, i think we are hijacking this thread. We can talk about hinduism in seperate thread, lets not ruin this thread.
P.S : There shud be edit button to edit the respective posts of the member.
